17-year-old girl stabbed while walking her dog on Chiba street

Police said Tuesday they are looking for a man who stabbed a 17-year-old girl while she was walking her dog in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture.

According to police, the attack occurred at around 6 p.m. on Monday. The girl said she was walking her dog when she was suddenly grabbed from behind by a man, TBS reported. Police quoted her as saying that the man told her to be quiet and then hit her on the head. He then stabbed her on the right side of her head with what appeared to be a knife, the girl said.

After the girl struggled, the man fled on foot. Police said he was described as being 25 to 30 years old, and about 175 cms tall.

The girl was taken to hospital to be treated for a 3-cm-long gash above her forehead, police said.

My God, that poor girl! How absolutely terrifying for her! And how scary that this nutter is on the loose. He stabbed her in the head? Sounds like he wanted to kill her. I hope hes caught quickly before he manages the job on someone else, and I hope this poor girl can recover from the trauma.

Thunderbird2 my thoughts exactly! Japanese police need to get out of the koban and start patrolling on foot or by car! just last night my friends car was broken into and her GPS was stolen and there was a koban on the next street behind her house! They broke into multiple cars. How many more people have to get injured? how many more cars broken into, car accidents happen due to reckless driving? how many more crimes have to happen while these guys sit in a koban? One of my Japanese friends is a police officer..he's a good man but is restricted to sitting in a koban waiting for people to come to him for help.

Uhh... he cuts her FOREHEAD? Very odd. If he had intended to do harm, almost any place else on her body would have been a better choice. The knife would have almost naturally gone to her neck to get her to comply and would have done a lot more damage in that position. Something smells fishy.
